Since there are no photos of the white jet in Pennsylvania
it is best to look at the photos of the white jet flying the skies of NYC
on 9/11.

Readers of the Rense article - 'On 9/11 An Ill Wind Blew
to Booker School - at http://www.rense.com/general63/wte.htm
are aware that a Bell 212 helicopter served as the remote control station
for the South Tower airliner crash. Other articles verified remote control
antennas on the South Tower airliner:

The CNN video, America Remembers, caught the Helicopter
hoving near the WTC. The circled area is an antenna for receiving video
from the ST airliner and the two white objects on the bottom of the boom
are blade antennas that communicate with the blade antennas on the ST airliner.
An operator in the helicopter sits at a monitor viewing video from the
airliner and uses the blade antennas to remote control the ST airliner.
NOTICE that the helicopter is UNMARKED.

Since the crash imprints in both WTC towers are 'like
peas in a pod' it is a safe assumption to make that the type of aircraft
that struck the South Tower also struck the North Tower. See Rense article,
WTC Jet Engine Confirmed NOT From Boeing 767, at

HOWEVER, the remote control station at the North Tower
was 'a small white jet'. The white jet flies in-formation right above the
airliner so as not to be seen by ground observers BUT CAUGHT BY THE CAMERAS.

The white jet was also caught by the cameras at the South
Tower crash:

The white jet guided the ST airliner to Manhattan Island
but 'handed off' final control to the helicoper. A Japanese tourist caught
the white jet handoff from the opposite side. http://www.anomalies-unlimited.com/WTC2.html

The white jet was caught making a shadow on the North
Tower on its ST crash flyby.

As the North Tower is 208 feet across and the shadow
is about 1/6 of that distance, the white jet is about 35 feet long.

Another camera caught the white jet on its trip to Pennsylvania
AFTER its ST crash flyby.

After the Pennsylvania trip the white jet RETURNED for
its GRAND FINALE:

PENNSYLVANIA WITNESSES described the white jet in exacting
detail. The Saab 105 SK60 military jet used in the Swedish and Austrian
Air Forces fits their descriptions and its 36 foot length fits the shadow
made on the North Tower. Of course, the jet had a white paintjob for 9/11
with all markings painted over to hide its identification from ground observers.

1) Susan Mcelwain: There's no way I imagined this plane
- it was so low it was virtually on top of me. It was white with no markings
but it was definitely military, it just had that look.

"It had two rear engines, a big fin on the back
like a spoiler on the back of a car and with two upright fins at the side.
I haven't found one like it on the internet. It definitely wasn't one of
those executive jets. The FBI came and talked to me and said there was
no plane around.

"Then they changed their story and tried to say
it was a plane taking pictures of the crash 3,000ft up.

"But I saw it and it was there before the crash
and it was 40 feet above my head. They did not want my story - nobody here
did."

THE MIRROR REPORTED:

The FBI's later explanation for the white jet was that
a passing civilian Fairchild Falcon 20 jet was asked to descend from 34,000ft
to 5,000ft some minutes after the crash to give co-ordinates for the site.
The plane and pilot have never been produced or identified. Susan Mcelwain
says a Falcon 20 was not the plane she saw.

The FBI insists there was no military plane in the area
but at 9.22am a sonic boom - caused by a supersonic jet - was picked up
by an earthquake monitor in southern Pennsylvania, 60 miles away from Shanksville.

2) Lee Purbaugh: There was another plane," Lee said.
"I didn't get a good look but it was white and it circled the area
about twice and then it flew off over the horizon."

3) Tom Spinelli: "I saw the white plane," "It
was flying around all over the place like it was looking for something.
I saw it before and after the crash."

4) Dennis Decker, 5) Rick Chaney: About a mile north
on Buckstown Road, Dennis Decker and Rick Chaney were at work making wooden
pallets when they heard an explosion and came running outside to watch
a large mushroom cloud spreading over the ridge." As soon as we looked
up, we saw a midsized jet flying low and fast," Decker said. "It
appeared to make a loop or part of a circle, and then it turned fast and
headed out. " Decker and Chaney described the plane as a Lear-jet
type, with engines mounted near the tail and painted white with no identifying
markings. "If you were here to see it, you'd have no doubt,"
Decker said. "It was a jet plane, and it had to be flying real close
when that 757 went down. If I was the FBI, I'd find out who was driving
that plane. "

6) Robin Doppstadt: Robin Doppstadt was working inside
her family food-and-supply store when she heard the crash. When she went
outside, she said, she saw a small white jet that looked like it was making
a single circle over the crash site. "Then it climbed very quickly
and took off. "

"Everybody's seen this thing in the sky, but no
one can tell us what it is."

8) Jim Brant: Mr. Brant and two of his employees arrived
at the site in minutes , hoping to help survivors. He said he noticed a
white plane, perhaps a jet, circling the wreckage. "It reminded me
of a fighter jet," he said. He said it stayed there for one or two
minutes before leaving. "The plane had no markings on it, either civilian
or military."

9) John Feegle: "It didn't look like a commercial
plane," Feegle said. "It had a real goofy tail on it, like a
high tail. It circled around, and it was gone." "The aircraft
appeared to have an unusually tall vertical stabilizer."

THE PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS:

10) Kathy Blades and her son ran outside after the crash
and saw the jet, with sleek back wings and an angled cockpit, race overhead.

In the hardest hitting journalism since 9/11, THE POWER
HOUR RADIO SHOW has totally revamped and added new analysis to an earlier
video. 911 IN PLANE SITE, The Director's Cut. Visit www.policestate21.com
to order. A quote from their South Tower airliner video analysis: "...there
was some sort of incendiary or explosive that would serve as a match to
ignite the enormous amount of fuel (when the plane hit the ST.)" http://www.rense.com/general63/st.htm
has the full story.

I don't know where Jon got the blown up images of the
small white jet - there seems to be no verification or info where he got
them. Just that he has them, so I'm skeptical. I also want to add that
the blow-up image shows what looks like an AWACs aircraft with the distinct
round area on top. NATO has an all white AWACS aircraft with barely noticeable
markings, you can see a large image of it here:

The US version is also all white, but has an air force
star in the rear quarters. The major difference is it looks like the paint
pattern on top is reversed in the blow-up. It doesn't look anything like
the Saab 105 at all from what I can tell.

There is also evidence about the AWACS, here is a quote
from this page:

"Well, the - I suppose the toughest decision was
this question of whether or not we would intercept incoming commercial
aircraft. MR. RUSSERT: And you decided? VICE PRES. CHENEY: We decided to
do it. We'd, in effect, put a flying combat air patrol up over the city;
F-16s with an AWACS, which is an airborne radar system, and tanker support
so they could stay up a long time."

My feeling is wherever the blown-up images came from
they are not related to what happened in Pennsylvania.

It is also understandable that there would be other aircraft
showing up in footage of the WTC since there was a gap before all jets
were told to land. It was business as usual in the skies before the government
and FAA caught on. The towers are close to JFK and LaGuardia - two major
airports in New York. The air traffic pattern is right along side the towers
when you land, right past Ellis Island.

Jeff -

I always try to keep an open mind when I read the articles
on your site and sometimes I find some great insight. But once again I
have come across a conspiracy theorist article that is just absurd. My
office is in Midtown Manhattan facing south. I am on the 36th floor and
had an unobstructed view of the first airliner crashing into the North
Tower.

I watched the entire flight of the jet down the length
of the island after it went roaring right over my own office building.
There were no other aircraft in the sky over midtown or downtown Manhattan
when the aircraft struck the North Tower. There was no white jet, there
was no helicopter anywhere in the vicinity. I can remember every detail
of every second of that day [down to the conversation I had on Queens Blvd
as I walked home with a guy that would have been in the North Tower if
it wasn't for his dentist appointment, and the amazing sight of military
fighters refueling over Manhattan after the towers had fallen and I had
begun my 3.5 hour walk home], and probably will for my whole life.

These claims by paranoid guys sitting in towns that face
no real threat, who believe they have figured it all out drive me crazy.
Yes, I understand that they are free to write what they wish, and that
there may even be a benefit to having them place their opinions out there
for everyone to read and consider, but does any vetting of this material
take place? For instance, where are the ATC [air traffic control] transcripts
that would show that such aircraft were in the air -- or at least a denial
of an appropriate FOIA request?

Where is there actual documented proof that the antenna
identified on the helicopter is 1) the type of antenna that would be used
with a remote control system and 2) was actually hooked up to a remote
control system. All we are provided with is some guy, whose CV is completely
unknown and not disclosed, circling a part of the undercarriage of a police
helicopter and declaring it was part of a remote control system. What is
the efficacy of providing a media outlet to such absurd and ill conceived
hyperbole?

Incidentally, that is not an unmarked helicopter we see
in the pictures. First it is a poor quality picture of the belly of a helicopter,
so it would be hard to see markings in any event. However, it can clearly
be seen that the helicopter is painted in the blue and white livery of
the NYPD and is of a type of helicopter that is seen almost daily flying
over the city. Has the author of the article ever even been to New York?

I have yet to see an article on this site surrounding
the events of 9/11 that is carefully reasoned and properly documented.
Time and time again I read articles in which the author latches onto some
intriguing factoid [usually unsubstantiated], and then using it as a starting
point, they begin piecing together an entire theory of how 9/11 was a staged
and orchestrated event by anyone from the illuminati to Bush himself.

Half the crowd says the Towers were blown up based on
pictures of the structure collapsing[even though if you watched the towers
burn then fall like I did, it was obvious that the structural steel melted
causing the collapse -- hell my exact words 20 minutes before the collapse
of the north tower as I Watched the fire through binoculars spreading DOWNWARDS
[think heavy jet fuel] through the building was that the steel was going
to melt and the building would collapse -- 20 minutes later it did just
that]...the other half are latching onto this remote controlled theory.
I was there. I saw it, I lived it, talk to me, visit the city and understand
the layout so you understand why you are missing about 50,000 witnesses
to the white jet and helicopter theory.

It didn't happen the way these guys are claiming it did.
Which then raises the question why are these guys coming up with bullsh-t
theories? I suppose in most cases its because they like to hear themselves
talk and like to feel important because they figured out what no one else
did, but does that explain all of them. If you are looking for a conspiracy,
examine the conspiracy theorists for a change.

Hello Jeff,

I believe the plane visible in the photo with the date-time
stamp of 9/11/2001 09:16 (http://www.rense.com/general64/P0001099.jpg)
is in fact a U.S Air force F-15 fighter jet. The light reflection and shadows
is indicative of the F-15 shape, with reflection visible in the photo as
primarily 3 white areas, one at the front illuminating part of the nose,
and 2 at the rear illuminating part of the twin vertical tail fins (a prominent
feature of the F-15). The darker areas are the wings and horizontal stabilisers
as seen from below. This is illustrated as follows:

For comparison here is a photo of 3 F-15's (1) ­
note the similarity in lighting and shadow effects that accentuate the
nose and twin vertical tail fins. With extrapolation of altitude and angle
the similarities are apparent.

In addition, the date-time stamp of the photo corresponds
with the location of at least one F-15 as corroborated by the following
information:

"9:11 A.M. Two F-15's from Otis Air National Guard
Base reach New York." (2) and "Both pilots were together, near
John F. Kennedy Airport, about 15 miles from the World Trade Center, when
the first tower collapsed. Later, Nasty was flying his F-15 about 5,000
feet above the second tower when it, too, folded into a torrent of dust
and debris." (3)
